Wunderbox overview

Wunderbox is the Infrastructure Platform product in the Lightning IT portfolio. Its conceptual verb is Host: Wunderbox is the product boundary for infrastructure capabilities on which approved workloads can be placed.

Wunderbox is a peer of ModuLix, IO, and Atlas. A deployment may use ModuLix content or IO execution to manage a Wunderbox environment and may observe it through Atlas, but those interactions do not change the peer-product hierarchy.

Public documentation scope​

The first public edition provides:

  • a neutral vocabulary for platform capacity, services, and consumers;
  • a conceptual architecture and responsibility model;
  • operating checks for readiness, change, backup, recovery, and retirement;
  • security review questions for management and workload boundaries; and
  • a troubleshooting flow based on symptoms and safe evidence.

It does not claim a mandatory hypervisor, orchestration layer, storage system, network design, installation interface, or availability level. Exact supported components and procedures require a verified Wunderbox release contract.

The public organization contains component repositories with Wunder-specific purposes, including a Wunderbox vSphere image source and public execution/tooling container sources for automation, development tools, and an operations toolbox. Those repositories document their own artifacts. Their presence does not make them mandatory components of every Wunderbox deployment.
